下面我们以2013年考研英语真题中里出现的同义替换简要跟大家来分享下，希望在以后的阅读过程中注意此类选项和原文做对比, 以提高做题效率。

正确答案B：veryconscious of their godlike role
原文复现："Who is that?" the newarrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "butsometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
答题要点：这个题目难度较大, 但是解本题的时候, 除了找到此同义替换局外, 还有一点是关键的, 那就是这个例子出现的背景, 那就是护士对医生有着一致的看法和观点, 并且绝对不是一种好的评价, 所以才会拿来开玩笑. 所以再结合原文, 应该推断, B为正确选项.说明医生很在乎自己上帝般的角色God再次出现。
